Title: Car network system and car reversal position detecting method
Inventor: TOMOKI MATSUKAWA
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2017-02-27
Abstract: The present invention enables a car reversal position in a car network system configured by coupling a plurality of cars to be automatically detected. This car network system is provided with a central processing unit (14) that communicates with switching hubs (11, 21, 31, 41) of cars (V1-V4) to detect a car reversal position. The relationship between ports used for connection between the respective switching hubs of adjacent cars differs between when the adjacent cars have the same orientation and when the adjacent cars have the opposite orientations. The central processing unit acquires, from the switching hub of each of the cars, the MAC address of this switching hub, the MAC address of another switching hub connected to this switching hub, and the port numbers of ports used for this connection, and detects a car reversal position on the basis of the relationship between the ports used for connection between the switching hubs of the adjacent cars, the relationship being specified from the acquired respective MAC addresses and port numbers.

Title: A magnetic encoder
Inventor: ARI AKBAR HASSAN AL-JAF
IPC: G01P3/50
Filed: 2020-03-03
Abstract: Magnetic encoder element 1 has two tracks 3, 4, each track comprising an alternating pattern of magnetic north and south pole regions 8, 9. Sensors 5, 6 are associated with respective tracks, generating outputs indicating the magnetic field associated with the track near the sensor. The number of poles in one track differs from the other track. The properties of the poles in one track differ along the track, such that the sensor for that track detects a periodic variation in magnetic field along the track, the periodic variation partially cancelling out a corresponding periodic variation in magnetic field due to the other track sensed by the sensor for the one track. The tracks may be linear and parallel, or be arranged around a common axis in a rotary encoder. The pole properties may differ in shape, area, magnetic field strength or orientation, or proximity to geometric features.

Title: Train route mapping system and method
Inventor: JACK HESFORD
IPC: B61L25/02
Filed: 2020-07-14
Abstract: A data map of a railway route 10 is constructed by measuring position and orientation of a train A, B at locations along the route in terms of distance from a known location, bearing, cant and gradient and storing the resultant data as a location profile. Thereafter, current values of distance, bearing, cant and gradient are measured at a train to provide current location profile data. This is compared to the data map to derive the train’s current location as the location for which the stored and current data correspond. The train may pass absolute position modules (e.g. balises 1-5) and the distance may be measured there-from. The location profile data may be measured by onboard sensors (e.g. tachometer 32, digital compass 34, 3-axis gyroscope 36, 3-axis accelerometer 38 and doppler radar 39, Figs.2-3). The train position may be derived by onboard system 40 or remote train control centre 20.
